Bearing in mind the popularity of the Sharpe books, this subject would merit a more extensive treatment. There are so many excellent stories which could be told, and have not been mentioned. This campaign was a triumph of methodical, professional soldiering over a thuggish rabble of conscipts led by demagogues. As a triumph it matches Bletchley Park in the application of military science. More of it, please.
